Summary
Malicious Package in browserift
Details

Version 16.3.3 of browserift contained malicious code as a preinstall script. The package was a backdoor that opened a connection to a remote server and executed incoming commands on both Unix and Windows machines

Recommendation

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.

The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
